“A Fond” is a French ensemble of six musicians based in Orléans, the cultural melting pot of the central region in France. This ensemble explores the electroacoustic possibilities of a traditional instrument “la vieille à roue” and percussion through the genre of New Traditional Music. Producing cutting edge, abstract and melodic compositions, this group also delves into the realms of free electronic improvisation.
